And then the next morning my tongue-in-cheek comment is still the most recent post? Come on, guys! If you want an active group, get active!

Well, duh! If we were active we wouldn't be in this situation. LOL

You guys don't know the meaning of front butt until you have a c-section scar running right down the middle of that belly flab! It is the bane of my existence. It is the reason most of my clothes don't fit right. Apparently, even plus size clothiers can't grasp that larger sizes mean more than wider across.

I never read Twilight, but I saw the movie before I knew anything other than it was vampires, thought it was boring and just never went back. I wouldn't mind the sparkling if the story had ANY interesting points. Supernatural after season 5 has been less than stellar, but I am sticking with it, if only because it COULD be…

I am just ahead of you at about 55-ish.

Sounds more like depression than boredom eating. I would get bored eating so much. Odds are she knows very well her choices are wrong, which is why she got angry (defensive.)

The fat is stored fuel for body activities, breathing, heart beating, walking around, jumping jacks, whatever. The fuel is used when you do the activities. Using the energy results in cellular waste, which is either exhaled or excreted, depending on what form the bi-products take. Fat CELLS actually don't go anywhere.…

With arthritis and asthma (both caused by being obese and will probably get better when I am not) ALMOST all exercises are either painful or dangerous (including walking.) When I got serious about losing weight I chose to find one I could do. (Swimming, btw) And I LOVE it. People who sit and complain about hating ALL…

Things aren't really going well. This weekend I felt like I had the energy of a slug (maybe less) I have not been getting more than maybe 2 miles / day walking + swimming. I need some cranky dwarves to keep me moving, I think.

Hi Julie, great NSV (non scale victory) I used to live in Huntsville. My husband and I met as students at UAH. We moved almost 10 years ago. I miss it so much.

Starting weight Sept 15 = 370.6 Goal weight Dec 14 = 350

MusicBabii, I am doing the exact same thing! :D The thought of going "There and BACK AGAIN" is mind blowing, for right now, I am just going to work on THERE. And yes, Mr Untidy, just tot up the miles and see where you would be if you had started at BagEnd. I usually end up walking about 2 miles / day, half in the pool and…

I love the way this lets me feel like I am making progress, even though I am walking around the neighborhood and the scenery doesn't change much.

Very impressive, and inspirational. Thank you for sharing.

Because I am severely overweight, any extreme exercise is off limits (if it would even be possible) My basic strategy is to move, at all! The primary cardio planned is walking in the fitness center pool every morning. Light strength-based exercises, leaning push-ups, crunches, etc every afternoon. 3 days a week I will add…

CW - 373 Originally my goal was to lose 20 lbs by mid December, but I am already halfway there, so I am adjusting to say I want to get my weight to 350 lbs between now and then. GW - 350

I have a had a bad week, walking wise. But, I finally managed to make it out of Hobbiton completely! I expect to make better distance next week.

Count me in, please. I saw this post last week and thought I posted, but reading through from the start to see who is involved, I didn't see me! I am just starting out losing weight and have a way to go. Small steps help keep the finish line in sight. CW - 373 GW - 350 A challenge will help keep me motivated and give me an…

Another military brat here, Air Force this time. Born in Shreveport, Louisiana, then (in order) Rapid City, South Dakota; Omaha, Nebraska; Grand Forks, North Dakota; Agana, Guam; San Bernardino, California; Iberia, Missouri; Tupelo, Mississippi; Huntsville, Alabama; and Oxford, Mississippi Sounds like I can fit in…

If you have access to a pool, I suggest swimming or walking in the water. Both are great exercise and the walking os much lower impact that walking on land.

I recently found out that my doctor's scale was off by about 60 pounds, so...what I thought I weighed was wrong, I was actually 60 pounds heavier. I know exactly what you mean by finding out (or feeling) you haven't made progress you thought you had. Well, you could give up. Is where you are where you want to be? I gather…

I have found it more useful to find healthy foods I love, or alternate, healthier recipes for foods I already loved, than to deprive myself and need to "cheat" to feel satisfied. If you live feeling deprived then the lifestyle change is going to be hard to keep up, especially after you lose weight. The temptation to ease…

Keep going! I cannot suggest anything you haven't tried, but I do know that stopping the good things you have accomplished and going back will not move you forward.

In addition to, or even instead of, "jealousy" she could be feeling defensive. People who know they need to change, but are unwilling to do so, who then see others making the change they need to make, can feel as if they are being accused, even if what is going on has nothing to do with them. It is possible that every time…

Glad I am not alone! I didn't have a float, just a scoop of ice cream. Had the calories to spare and wanted a treat.

I know I feel much better about myself when I plop bags of fruits and veggies on the conveyor than I did when it was Doritos and Cheetos. Anything about making better choices that makes you feel good and keep doing it is a win.

I love D&D, and collect dice and dice-shaped objects. I want to see a picture of the cake!

Well, since I was going to be walking a lot in Sept anyway, this will help keep me motivated to up the levels. I'm in.

How many college students does it take to screw in a light bulb? Two, but they have to be very tiny. How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb? Just one, but the light bulb really has to want to change.

Where does the kidding yourself come in? Even if the salad is not as healthy as, say, a salad you made yourself, I'd wager it is a darn sight better than most of what the menu offers. Of course it is the better choice. Did you mean "should I stay home instead?" Well, that is a personal choice. But don't let your diet make…
